Hyderabad, Oct.18 (NSS): Minister for IT and Industries KT Rama Rao on Tuesday participated in the inauguration and foundation stone events of five new projects worth of Rs 1,100 crore which have potential to create employment to 3,000 people at the Life Sciences Cluster Genome Valley on the outskirts of Hyderabad.
The programme also includes the State’s flagship initiative, Bio-Pharma Hub, which aims at catalysing the Bio-Pharma sector.

Speaking on the occasion, Minister KT Rama Rao said the demand for space at Genome Valley was on the rise. “We have a good problem on hand. We are running out of space at the cluster,” he said adding that various developments and expansions happening now will add about 20 lakh sqft space in the next years or so.
He stated that about 30 lakh sqft is currently used by over 200 biotechnology, life sciences and pharmaceutical companies in the Genome Valley which has more plug-and-play facilities than all the clusters put together and many contract research organisations are seeing huge growth opportunities.
